From Love to Bingo in 873 Images

Pillaging the stock-photo database of Getty Images, director Cisma and AlmapBBDO art director Marcos Kotlhar made a coherent narrative film running at 15fps and using nothing but still imagery from the Getty library. (For fun, try calculating how much it would cost to make this film if you actually had to license each photograph.) The result is an amusing advertisement for Getty — but also, by bringing together so many substantially similar images, reflects on the same-old same-old quality that plagues a lot of stock photography!
